Graduation Restaurant Reservations

Reservations, The Earlier, The Better!

The big day has finally come; Graduation! This is a time to celebrate the graduate and surround them with friends and family. Following graduation, it is common to have a special feast to celebrate this special day. The University of Maryland hosts a commencement ceremony both in the Fall and Spring. Due to COVID-19, commencement has to be held virtually where it can be streamed live across multiple platforms.

Hopefully, you have read our blog Graduation at UMD and already arranged your hotel rooms. But, if you are coming up with your entire family, you may want to make your restaurant reservations as many of the restaurants get extremely busy. With that being said, there will be many places that will require reservations for brunch, lunch, or dinner depending on the time of your student’s graduation.  To help you out, we are listing the restaurants that take reservations and if they require a deposit to hold the table (some do, depending on the size of your party). Obviously, we have not listed all possible places, but these are some of our favorites.
